Here’s another one, because I’ve become addicted to writing these things:

**Kat05:** We find a regimen devoted to our supposed intellectual improvement superfluous; likewise, we feel that any enforced external influence on our mental processes is unnecessary. Furthermore, the use of caustic irony in an educational situation is equally detrimental, so we advise you, pedant, to cease haranguing your juvenile charges.

L4L-2 In a decision between remaining where I currently am, or fleeing my location, which should I choose at this immediate moment?  
Exiting will definitely have negative consequences, however remaining will have these consequences twofold.

L4L-3 The notion has occured that you are the most difficult fastening device to close.

L4L-4 Non-conformist, non-conformist, you have damaged your garment.  
Non-conformist, non-conformist, your countenance is need of purification.  
Non-conformist, non-conformist, their intelligence gathering is unsatisfactory.  
Woman of loose moral character and increased temperature, I have a strong emotional attraction towards you.

L4L5 - By my visual observations, I feel I am the most qualified to handle this task.  
Therefore, people should take the same route as myself.  
The reason for this is that we are lacking in events that may rile some people.  
The general thought is that the situation is lacking in substance due to a deficiency of my presence.

O, Heavenly Father!  
Wilt thou not procure for me a C320?  
They with whom I am acquainted pilot 911 Carreras.  
I am behooved to atone.  
All the days of my life have I labored,  
and lo not one has leant a hand.  
O, Heavenly Father!  
Wilt thou not procure for me a C320?
